English has borrowed more words from French than from any other modern foreign language. French words and phrases – such as la mode, ennui, navet and caprice – lend English a certain je-ne-sais-quoi that would otherwise elude the language. Richard Scholar examines the continuing history of untranslated French words in English and asks what these words reveal about the fertile but fraught relationship that England and France have long shared and that now entangles English- and French-speaking cultures all over the world.
